situation is decidedly complicated Foran

The nominations to be made are for the

The eighty eight counties will be represented

MORE ROBUST PROHIBITION.
An Indiana Mob Makes short Work of a
Saloon

Saloon,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July l9-There was
an exciting time Sunday night at Wilkinson,
on the line of the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western road in Hancock county, growing
out of the mobbing of saloon run by VIII
lam Wilson, which was established in that
village about three weeks ago, very much to
the chagrin and opposition of the better SEN
timent of the community, which claimed to
be ignorant that Wilson contemplated any
such investment. The saloon was IN charge
of John Robert Wilson, q cousin of
the proprietor and when the mob number
ing seventy-five or one hundred persons, be
gan battering the front windows and doors,
using powders and piece of timber, he fired
one shot from his revolver, hoping to int,m-
idate the assaulting party. The ruse failed
to work. After the mob entered the pool
table was broken with a sledge hammer and
counter and bar fixtures were similarly served
and many of the bottles containing liquors
were also smashed but still considerable Of
the stock escaped demolition.
1t is said for Wilson that had he known
the sentiment of the village he would not
have undertaken the business and that had
he been present Sunday night some one
would have gotten hurt as he is a deter
mined fellow Parties from Wilkinson re
port that on Saturday night several persons
were elected from the saloon, going away
vowing vengeance, and they are inclined to
think the attack was instigated by this class,
and not those opposed to the saloon from a
conscientious standpoint

LONDON, July 10 In the house of COM
mons Monday evening, Hume Long, member
for Devices, called the attention of the house
to breach of privilege committed on Friday
evening last in the lobby of the house by DR..
Tanner member for Middle Cork He had,
he said, written to DR. Tanner stating that
he intended to bring the matter before the
| house, but he noticed that the gentleman was
not present. Concerning the trouble between
himself and Tanner, Long said that hearing
| that Tanner had complained that his v6tehad
not been recorded in division, he long asked
him, upon meeting him in the lobby, what
was the matter.
Tanner responded: aYou are a Tory, Amt

speak to me- Irish cheers. Talk to your own

subsequently, exclaimed "Ihere goes u ID

Smith moved that in consequence of the
language he used to Long, Tanner be sus

i luested Conservatives not TO address him, an'
he thought Long would have acted wisely
not to have spoken to him. Tanner wa

cedent for the suspension of a member for {

A New YORK letter says: Wall
street life is demoralizing. 1t units men
for legitimate work and for business re-
quiriug energy and hard work. The
street is surrounded with temptation to
gamble in other petty WAYS and especial
ly to drink. The Wall street gin mills
are numerous and gaudy and seductive.
A bit OF few hundred dollars in man E
favor tempts him to take drink of jubll-
alton, while loss demands the cup of
consolation. Money is made and lost on
so big scale that young men espec tally
are fascinated by the rapiditY Of the pace
and the magnitude of the business There
Is temptation to prodigality in cabs and
in dinners and luncheons which is freely
gratitied. A young man who has spent a
year in Wall street brokers offices, who
makes $500 to-day and loses $400 to-
morrow and makes $500 the next. isn't,
going to consider the value of SO or
$50 bank note when his own pleasure or
comfort is under consideration When
at the end of the year he finds himself
with hardly 800 to his name, he is en-
tirely or absolutely untitled for work,
and he is more inclined to put so in a
bucket>shop with the hope of making it
$50 than to work on clerks wages.
He has become interested in petroleum
and grain, and horse races and lottery
tickets, and matching half dollars and
draw poker, and work is tiresOme. He,
in short, is good for nothing. The
down town saloons are full of these Wall
street wrecks. They are on hand for
drinks, but are good for nothing when
there is work to be done"

A CORNEREK CORNERED.
ONE MORE BRILLIANT OPERATOR"
GOES TO THE WALL

Because He Bought More Than He Could
Keep Up the Margins On-Runge's RAJ
pecity and Its Consequences-He Wanted
the Whole Cotton Crop. But i, Was Too
Heavy for Him.
NEW YORK, July l9.-The announcement
that Julius Runge the big Galveston cotton
operator, had made an assignment in that
city, caused decline of fourteen points in
August here Monday, equal to the same
amount in Liverpool Runge had been car
rying a large line of cotton for a syndicate
which embraced people in Galveston, New
Orleans and Liverpool, and if reports are cor
rect, also included operators in Chicago and
St Louis who are well known in the grain
trade Mr. Runge was member of the firm
of Kaufman & Runge, cotton firm in
Galveston. He organized a syndicate as far
back as February, when cotton was con-
sidered low, and began to buy the near OPP
tons, more particularly April, until he had
cornered that month, gradually advancing
the market till it stood one cent above the
lowest point He took hold of August at
| about 9 5 cents and pushed it on the shorts till
the market touched II 50 cents few weeks
| ago.
Tire bull movement all along was based on
the cheapnesS of the price or the favorable
statistical position, the consolidated stock IN
| this country being at one time more than
100000 bales less than at the same time last
year. This deficit however, has within siS
| weeks been considerably reduced and the
worlds visible supply, moreover, is a little
| larger than at this time last year, now being
| .f64 957 bales, against $40, 90S bales yeal
ago The recent agricultural bureau report
| as to the condition of the cotton crop was an
other damper for the bulls. 1t showed tbs
| condition to be 81 per cent, against only ssh
per cent at the same time last year.
These facts have naturally had tendency
| to depress the market. and August soon be
gan to WAIVER and look top heavy until it sud
denly took downward plunge and, with occa-
sional rallies, has been declining ever since.
Mr. Runge has had considerable success III
| other speculations He is understood to have
made 500, 900 in the big coffee deal, and also
to have been behind the recent June corner
in wheat here by which the price was forced
from 90 cents up to l07. Some of his friends
in the grain trade at the west went INTO cot
| ton by his advice, though 1t Is not known
how heavily.
| The syndicate of which he was the head
represented a capital, it was claimed, of Is,
90u, o00, and it was said at one time that tn,
clique held 100000 bales here and 100000 il
Liverpool The opinion is that he had goot
chance of success if he attempted to corner
New York only. He sought, however, to pu
the screws on Liverpool and the task proves
too much for him, and instead of the 81 900,
900 or S, 100000 which the clique claimet
they would make on the deal, it has fallel
through altogether, and their cotton wa
sold out in Liverpool Monday.
1t is not certainly known who comprise
the syndicate of which Mr.. Runge was tn,
head, but it is understood to have comprise
some very wealthy houses
